Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) signaled in an interview published Thursday that decades-old sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh will not play a major role in his vote on the judge’s Supreme Court confirmation. Manchin, a key Democrat swing vote, lamented the Senate Judiciary Committee’s handling of its investigation into allegations against Kavanaugh, describing the previous few weeks as “horrible” and a “circus.”
“I am looking at the gentleman as an adult from 22 to 53, thirty-one years of professional service,” Manchin told Al-Jazeera. “I am looking at him as a father. As a person in a community, how he interacts with his community. I am trying to put the human side to it.”
The red state Democrat made similar remarks told Fox News’ Chad Pergram Wednesday afternoon.
Manchin’s remarks come as Democrat Senators have begun ratcheting up criticism of the FBI’s findings. Sen. Chris Coons (D-CT) expressed concern Thursday morning that the agency did not interview Kavanaugh or his first accuser, California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford.

I do not. She was not hideous, but also certainly no great beauty. However, remembering what I and my cohorts were like in that era, free milk is free milk - there would have been gents from all around town lining up to get a bucket full.
IMHO, naturally.
Dear Joe, your no vote will guarantee the end of your career as an overpaid pompous @ss senator. One vote.
You may get fired in November regardless of your vote, you’re such a spineless self-serving WORM. West Virginia loves Trump and I imagine the voters by now are absolutely sick of you.
Manchin is building the foundation to vote yes.
I’ll be voting for him, but yeah, I believe he is.
He’s waiting until he knows Kav will be confirmed, then he’ll add his meaningless vote to the yea column.
Hear, hear.
Sen. Joe Manchin says he was ‘thrown out’ of the room while reading the FBI’s Brett Kavanaugh report. He said he hasn’t made up his mind on how he will vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
[Joe, you are the kind of democrat we can live with.... Scoop Jackson, John Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, Joe Lieberman....You sometimes show common sense with a rationale that’s plausible, even though we may disagree with it. Don’t blow it with Kav.]
It would be a great boon to the nation and to WV, if Manchin lost his seat this November.

The carpetbagger tag hurts in WV unless you are Jay Rockefeller. That, and in my opinion, Morrissey is a lousy campaigner. Also keep in mind despite WV being an overwhelming Red State in presidential elections, there remains a pro union sentiment along with the Rats having strong orginization on the local level. Century old habits are hard to break.
Well she was a waitress in Dewey Beach DE
where 2 of her paramours had an altercation
over her.
They grew up so fast!
[Oh, blow it out your a**, you dumb hick.]
I apologize for using the word “hick”. He just makes me so angry that I resort to stupid insults. So, you’re saying a Yankee outsider is running against him while refusing to get involved in southern culture? (Forgive me, I don’t know much about this match up.)
Prediction: He'll vote to confirm. Before casting his vote, he will have already informed the powers that be on the democrat side, that if they dare seek revenge on him for his vote, he'll switch parties and add to the republican red wave.

Manchin comes from a well known, politicaly powerful WV family.
Morrisey comes from NJ.
Well, the Mountaineers fell for the third Rockefeller ad nauseum.
As an Alaskan, if Murky votes no, I have to go help replace her with. Real American instead of a Globalist.
